A Dunsborough Beach House Made for Family Tradition
Some homes are remembered for their finishes. Others are remembered for the life that happens within them — cousins sharing bunk rooms, board games around the table, sandy feet at the door and evenings that stretch naturally from the beach into the backyard. Set on a generous 707sqm parcel, 8 Hibernia Close is a carefully maintained three-bedroom, one-bathroom beach house offering original coastal character, practical boat accommodation and an exceptionally central Dunsborough lifestyle.
Walk Between Town and Bay
The position is central to the property’s appeal. Dunsborough’s cafés, restaurants, shops and Centrepoint are approximately 300m from home, while the calm swimming waters and foreshore paths of Geographe Bay are also approximately 500m away. It is the kind of location that changes the way the home is used. Morning coffee, dinner in town, a swim in the bay or an evening walk can all become part of the day without needing to organise the car. For holiday-home buyers, families and lifestyle purchasers, that ease is difficult to replicate.
Original Coastal Character, Carefully Maintained
Built in 1984 and well cared for over time, the home retains the warmth and honesty of its original era. High raked ceilings, exposed timber beams and raw face brickwork bring texture to the main living areas, while security-screen breezeway doors and hard-wearing finishes suit the practical demands of coastal living. This is not a home trying to be something it is not. Its appeal lies in the way it has been maintained, the strength of its location and the relaxed family atmosphere already established within it.
Living Built Around Time Together
The kitchen sits at the centre of the floor plan, connecting the dining zone on one side with the lounge and television area on the other. A raised breakfast bar seats four, creating an easy place for casual meals, conversation and children to gather while dinner is prepared. The kitchen includes a two-door pantry, microwave recess, double fridge space, Bosch induction cooktop and electric oven, integrated Smeg rangehood, dishwasher and double sink. High raked ceilings and exposed beams add volume to the adjoining living areas, while Daikin reverse-cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans support year-round comfort. Outdoor speakers extend the atmosphere beyond the house when family and friends gather outside.
Well-Zoned Accommodation for Family Holidays
The main bedroom is positioned near the dining area and includes a four-door built-in robe and ceiling fan. One of the home’s most memorable spaces is the enlarged front bedroom, currently arranged as a generous bunk room. There is room for children, cousins and friends to sleep and play together, giving younger guests their own zone while keeping the main living areas clear. A third bedroom adds flexibility for permanent family living, visitors or occasional work-from-home use. The shared family bathroom includes a generous walk-in shower, vanity and medicine cabinet, with a separate WC positioned beside the laundry. Hallway linen and broom storage, practical drying racks and direct outdoor access support the routines of beach days and busy family stays.
North-East Facing Outdoor Living
The expansive north-east facing outdoor area creates a natural extension of the home. It is a place for long lunches, evening meals, children moving between the house and garden, and relaxed gatherings after a day by the water. Reticulated lawns and garden beds provide a secure, easy-care setting, complemented by Colorbond fencing, powder-coated gates and garden lighting. An outdoor shower helps keep sand outside, together with a fish-cleaning sink, making the property particularly well suited to boating, fishing and beach-focused weekends.
Boat-Ready, Beach-Ready and Practical
A custom drive-through boat port provides protected undercover accommodation for the boat and is one of the home’s defining features. Two driveways create additional off-street space for vehicles or a caravan, while the large powered double-bay shed / workshop with lighting and two roller doors provides useful storage for tools, boards, fishing equipment and the belongings that come with a coastal home. This practical infrastructure allows the property to support the lifestyle promised by its location, rather than simply sit close to the water.
